Cedar Hill Veterinary Clinic

Great affordable vet. Dr Tim is a very kind and caring guy. He understands that not everyone can spend $$$ on vet care and will never overcharge or make you feel guilty about having a spending limit. He is in it for the animals and their people not the money. Read Less

The vet is condescending & rude. He nit picks what you say instead of listening to your concerns. Odd hours and the few appointments allotted are late in the day but they don't seem to like to give you one even if you ask before that it's walk in only, so you have to get there at least an hour before they open, then wait 2 to 4 hours for your turn when they feel like showing up. 2 out of 3 animals got sarcomas which is a tumor mass after trauma or vaccinations. Which none of the have had before. One ended up needing surgery, they kept saying they didn't take appointments but when I went in they said I could wait. I was surprised when people kept going in before us. When I asked I was told oh they had an appointment! - _- I ended up paying over $500 at another clinic to remove a tumor mass they caused and wouldn't fix without another office copay and wouldn't give me an appointment. On top of that, you have to request for tests over and over, ie. heartworm tests, geriatric blood work & so on. Just heck no. Waste of money & time. Beware! Read Less

I have taken my pets here since 1975. They have prolonged the life of several with ICU level care that did not break the bank. The vets are A&M trained, compassionate and use common sense in their suggestions. Read Less

I've been going to cedar hill veterinary clinic for many years now. If you want your pet truly cared for without ridiculous bills and a straight forward caring vet that will save your dogs life if something ever happens.. then definitely see Dr. England. I could not be happier with the care he has provided to my dogs. Read Less

Dr. England has a good heart. The prices are reasonable and we have brought our dogs there for 23 years. However, I find that he is very cost adverse in his treatment and sometimes does not do tests to rule out things. This has had poor results with us twice. Our dog Buddy, a dalmatian, had a head injury when he was about two and in later life developed a lesion on his brain and needed to be given phenobarbital which solved his problems for several years. He became unable to eat and Dr. England at first told us that it was a bacterial infection and prescribed antibiotics. The dog went down hill and we ended having to take him to an emergency vet clinic where they did a xray and determined the reason he could not eat was a tumor pressing against his stomach. We had to have the dog put down. Most likely if he had correctly diagnosed the problem it would not have made much difference in the outcome. Our next dog was Ridgely. He began to have symptoms of confusion, and shakiness. Dr. England again prescribed the same medicine which we gave for nine months. Then over last weekend the dog became disorientated had trouble walking and weakness. Cedar Hill Vet was closed so that again I had to go to the emergency vet. They found that the dog had very low blood sugar and was in diabetic shock. We lost him. In both cases Dr. England diagnosed the dog without testing and twice he was wrong. He stresses that a lot of money can be spent on test, but in this second case it would have saved my dog. The couple of hundred dollars to do a blood test would have been money well spent. The symptoms that Ridgely displayed are classic diabetes. Read Less

This is the world best vet. My family has been going here for I believe 20 yrs. They try to keep your charges down as best they can They become a part of your pets life from baby till the end. Words can not express the kindness these people have show are pets and our family... Read Less

I would step in front of the car while it's moving toward me before I would come back to this place. This vet treated me like I didn't know what is going on. He said that he has not bathed his dog for 7 years, he just brushes. I guess his dog doesn't smell He does not sell tooth paste. He said I should buy a particular dog food, and when I checked a dog food site that rates dog food, the site said do not buy that food I live in a RV and have traveled with my babies (dogs) andhave seen a lot of vets and I was treated a lot better at all of them. If you are looking for a good vet in this area, try Ennis Veterinary Clinic in Ennis, TX. Read Less

I have been going to Dr. Timm for almost 30 years. He is the best Vet I have ever known. It is very obvious to me he is not in it for the money. He simply loves animals and has their best interest at heart! Read Less

We have been taking our pooches to Dr. Tim England and his awesome staff for 30 years now and highly recommend them. You may have to wait but you will receive that old fashion hospitality. Us animal lovers treat our pets like babies and this staff treats you like family in a good loving way. Today I took my 13.5 human year old Golden lab for some intestinal trac concerns and they treated him like royalty. I was highly educated! Read Less

Dr. England is amazing. Every time we take our pets, his treatment of our dogs insures us that he loves them too. He spends extra time with us and explains in detail what care is needed for them. Because of his love of animals you know he is not trying to take advantage of your finances. On a personal note, it is obvious that he is true family man. I have seen him at sports activities with his children. We trust him completely and you should too. When we walk into his office we feel confident we will leave relieved that our doggies have been well cared for again. AWESOME MAN. Read Less

Worst vet experience ever! I sat for hours listening to Chisty, his office person talking ugly to each and every person that walked in the door. I don't understand why people let themselves be spoken to like that. When I finally saw Dr England, he spent the majority of our visit telling me what a ritious, drug free life he has lived. I was baffled. He may be cheap, but he doesn't do anything but talk. You get what you pay for. To make sick and anxious animals wait hours and hours while he talks about himself is deplorable! Animals deserve so much better than what this vet has to offer. Never again! Read Less

Best vet we have seen in decades. With five animals in the house, it is good to know that these people are there to help when you need it. The "no appts" rule means you will most likely have a long wait, but it is worth it. Read Less

HORRIBLE!!! I just moved here from FL and was looking for a vet for my fur babies. I read the good reviews and living in south Dallas it was near. I got there and it looked like an abandoned building (see pictures). I walk in and explain I need a vet for my girls and the receptionist says "We're not taking any new patients. Go see..." I explain I just moved here and she lets out a huffy breath and says "it's down that road" pointing out of the building. NEVER would I let my enemies take their pets here! Read Less

Dr. England is the best, He and Dr. English I've never had a bad experience. My mini daschund has seizures and he's always on top of his refills. Also, any other questions or concerns I have when I take him in. Their bedside manners are better than some physicians for people. Keep up the great work. Read Less

Our family first started using this vet in the 70's when we first moved to Cedar Hill. Now, years later I use this clinic for my pets. Dr. England has been really great. He takes his time to visit with the dog and explain everything you need to know. My kids would come in with me and now that they are grown he still asks about them. it is truely nice to have someone who cares. Yes, the front desk can be a little nicer, but they do have a lot going on. The wait is really worth it. Read Less

I have been going to Cedar Hill Vet Clinic for over 25 years.. I have moved and still gladly make the 45 min drive to continue going here. I cant imagine using any other vet. Dr England is not only my vet, he is also a trusted friend.. He has been there when ive brought new puppies and he and his staf have ;lovingly been there when it has also been time to say goodbye..He told me once.."I amhere because I love animals." and it truely shines through..... Read Less

I'm very surprised at the previous poor review. Dr. England is by far the best vet we have ever seen for our cats. He has incredible instincts and presence with the animals. Learning how their office works is a little tricky, but once you've done that, this is the best place to take your pets. Read Less

This is hands down the best place to take your pet. Worth the wait if there is one. The staff is great and Doc is the best ever. A real guy who you can relate to and takes his time with you. He will make you fell your the only one in the building. Very generous with his time. This Vet makes you feel like your in a small town where everyone knows each other... An easy going place. Its not till you walk back outside that you realize the hustle and bustle of the world we live in...... Read Less

would like to say Dr England has been one of the best, honorable veterinary i have ever used in this area!! He is and has been the most honest, considerable, trustworthy vets on top of making our loved ones like they were as important to him and to us!! And his mannerism up front and respectful!! So for me Dr England and his staff...Hats off to you and Thank You for always treating my pets as you do!! God bless... Read Less

I visited Dr. England for the first time this morning with a friend's dog whom I knew was in poor health. I have never met such a compassionate, kind, understanding, professional. He genuinely cares! Since his clinic is run on a walk-in basis it was perfect for my situation and well worth the wait. I will recommend him to all my friends and family. It's so nice to know there are such good people who really care still out there! Read Less

I have never been treated so badly by any human being! Sure Dr.England may be a good vet and talented in many aspects that most vets tend to ignore, but the front desk help is absolutely worthless! in my oponion i would rather pay 10X the amount just so i can be treated like a human. I have been going to Dr. England for several years and his staff continues to become more worthless with every visit. on Petmeds they sell intrepid for $40 at Dr. Englands office they sell it for $60 so i decided to order it online. petmeds associate called me back and told me that the staff at Englands office would not release the prsecription even though it would save me $20 a month! RECAP= cheap service doesnt save you money in the end and takes hours to get! DONT WAIST YOUR TIME Read Less

In the course of my employment (the previous 5 years), I've transported many boarding companions to Cedar Hill Veterinary Clinic due to the fact the pet owners indicated that Dr. Timm England was their personal veterinarian. More Importantly to me is my strictly personal experience with Dr. England. I have taken my own dogs to Dr. England for the last 6 years. I currently have 3 canine companions ranging in age from 2 years to 11 years of age. Almost 2 years ago, I took my young german shepherd mix, Piper, to see Timm because she wasn't able to hold even small amounts of liquid down for severa days, in spite of medications to ease nausea. Dr. Timm England diagnosed Piper, within 12 hours, with a rare disorder, megaesophagus. Several other veterinarians consulted by my family prior to that were unable to make suggestions. Because of his diagnosis only, I was able to end Piper's unavoidable and uninterruptible suffering. The best. The most compassionate. The waiting time and the extremely low fees aside, Dr. England has more than earned my respect and loyalty. Read Less

Re: The comment written by daughterofzion. She needs to go to Texas A&M University get a degree in Vet Medicine and treat her own animals. I've never had a bad experience there. She would complain if she were hung with a new rope. Two vets down for her and half a million to go. Busy lady. Sorry sweetie. These vets are the best. Read Less

I was very disappointed. Dr. England was highly recommended by many people that I have met. I looked up reviews online before taking my puppy in to this clinic. She had been sick and I was not pleased with my previous vet clinic- so I decided to bring her here. Besides the long wait- which is to be expected since there are no appointments...I was not pleased. The front desk staff was not rude- but she was not overly friendly. I waited in the office when Dr. England entered my room. He did not introduce himself and he was very rude. He began by telling me my puppy was not the breed I said she was. She is not registered and she is a mix- but I do not care. She has two dominant breeds mixed with some other breeds. He then told me her feces sample was clean- and I told him that I wormed her two days prior. He asked me what I had used- and I told him where I had bought it. I also told him the main ingredient in it. He said- oh yeah that is awesome and I said it is awesome! It worked pretty well. He then continued to tell me that the wormer only wormed against one kind and was the safe thing to use. He was actually being sarcastic when he said it was awesome. He then asked me questions like what type of heartworm medicine she is on. When I told him he told me that that is a ""safe"" kind and I needed to switch her as soon as it ran out. I am okay with that except I felt like I was being talked down to the entire time. He also did not bother to check her gums to make sure she was hydrated enough (as she had lost weight due to being sick.) He decided at last minute to check her stomach to make sure she had not digested anything. While he was doing that he made the comment that she was a scaredy cat dog and that I needed to socialize her more. I told him she had just graduated from eight weeks of puppy class PURPOSEFULLY so that she could be socialized. I do not appreciate cutting comments. To end things- he told me that the pumpkin in a can was only used for dogs who were constipated. I had been told by another vet to use small amounts to help with diarrhea. I felt angry by the time I left the office because he talked to me like I did not know anything. He was nice in the fact, he did not want to charge me a lot of money to run tests. He wanted to try her on medicine first before doing something that would cost a lot of money. I doubted that this was the same Dr. England everyone spoke so highly of- but it was. I called to confirm that is who I saw. I was very disappointed because I take pride in my pets and want a vet who cares. I felt disappointed that I have to continue searching for a vet clinic that I like. There is nothing friendly about this experience. Read Less

I have been going to this clinic for years and didn't mind waiting my turn to see the vet, but now it has just gotten ridiculous. Only shots are done on Saturdays, the vet is not available. That makes it very inconvenient for those of us with jobs. I have never been treated rudely by any staff member. They have always gone above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of but with the change in office hours recently and the vet no longer available on Saturdays, I will have to find another place to take my pets. Read Less

I Love Doc England, and Kevin too. I have used them both and even though it is on walk in basis, it is worth every moment of the wait. Once you are in the room, there is no rush, they both take their time to make you feel comfortable about your pet. You cannot find a better place. I promise you that. They are TRUE Vets, they do it for the love of animals and not just to make a buck.If Doc England, were to have to tell me bad news about a furry loved one, I could take it from him,better than anyone else, as I will know, that he did all he could to help my pet. LOVE YOU GUYS!! Read Less

I love this Vet Clinic. I have had pets seen by both Dr England and Dr Ellis. I am not bothered by the wait. It is not a boring one, for sure. Many people chose to wait in their car and some who have the timing figured out, actually run an errand or two, though if you are not there when your turn comes up, you'll lose your spot and have to wait longer. I find both vets very skilled and both are compassionate and understand that our pets are like family to us and they are never dismissive about our fears and concerns. They are not jaded by years in field or in any way callous. Far from it. They mourn the loss right along with us when a pet's life is at end and they need to be gently ushered out of this world painlessly and with dignity. I have visited this office for years now and will always bring my pets here. I like the staff as well. Price wise, it is wonderful! So many folks who would be unable to afford top care for their pets can afford it here. In that light, a bit of a wait is a very small inconvenience. Read Less

I have 3 dogs and Dr. England has taken care of them with the utmost compassion and caring no other vet has had the patience and understanding like him and the staff at the clinic had. When my mothers dog was ready to go...sniff..he was right there with us to just guide and care for not only brown dog but my mom..she got through it great! I live in Richardson now but still after 13 years go to Cedar Hill for any care they need. Read Less

EVERY TIME I COME TO CEDAR HILL VET , DR. TONY ELLIS MAKES SURE I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING I NEED FOR MY HORSES. HE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING. ALSO HIS STAFF ESPECIALLY MARY, IS VERY HELPFUL. I NEVER TAKE MY HORSES ANYWHERE ELSE. THE FRONT STAFF IS VERY RUDE. Read Less

I think it's pretty funny that I posted a review on here, not one week ago and it has been deleted.I will keep posting this review, as long as it takes, for it not to be deleted anymore.This office is the worst. My cat was dying in my arms, eyes buldging out of her head, not able to breath. I went up to the front desk, the women up there were completly rude, did not care about my cat and told me I would have to wait 45 MINUTES!!!!!!! My cat was LITERALLY dying in my arms. I ended up having to take her down the street to another vet, who could see her right away (because she was DYING). I do NOT recommend this vet and I will NOT be going back there. Oh yeah and my cat ended up dying. Read Less

While Dr. England is an adequate veterinarian, since he doesn't take appointments, you can expect a three to four hour wait in order to see him. I can not understand how this clinic can't figure out how to use appointments since the entire rest of the world has it figured out!!! I was told that his office staff didn't like the complaints if people saw the vet after their scheduled time and that's why they decided to do a sign in process. That's hardly a valid reason for the ridiculous sign in process. The office staff is not only incompetent but rude. The office manager, Christie, has an attitude problem. It doesn't matter how polite nor pleasant a client is, she's just plain rude. I've never seen the woman smile. Additionally, due to mismanagement of time, surgeries are scheduled MONTHS in advance. An abscessed tooth and mammary tumors couldn't be surgically treated for two months. That's simply not acceptable. After being treated as if they didn't want my business, I have taken my business elsewhere. Read Less

I have used this office before, but , now it seems like everytime we need to go the dr is not in, on sat all they give now is shots, i once was told the dr was not in on the sat i needed him the most. all else he is a great vet and a very busy one on top of that . Read Less

I WILL NOT take any of my animals to anyone BUT Dr. England!! I have been going to Doc England since 1986. I used to live in Lake Dallas, TX and would drive from there to Doc England's office, just to see HIM. No one else touched my animals! I remember when my kitty (LS) had to have surgery. Went and got her, she chewed her stiches out on the ride home from the office. When we got home she was bleeding. Of couse, I called Dr. England in a panic!! He calmed me down, told me how to take care of it. He offered to stay at the office until I could get there if I wanted to bring her back in, but told me that I could take care of if since it was such a long drive back to the office. He stayed ont he phone with me until I got everything under control. But what amazed me was... that evening @ about 10:00 pm Dr England called the house. He said he was sorry for calling so late, but that he had intended to call earlier but had another emergency. He wanted to make sure that LS was alright, and that everything was ok!!! Another one, I adopted a kitten (6 wks) from the pound. 3 days later she got sick. Took her to Dr England. I couldn't take her back to the pound cause they would just put her to sleep. Dr England gave me the medicine, a feeding tube, special milk and her a shot and I got out of the office for less than $20. He KNEW I couldn't affoed much at the time. Unfortunately, the kitten was way too sick to get her better. He was concered about her quality of life over-all and said she would ALWAYS have respiratory problems. I made the decision that I couldn't see her in the paid all the time so as I was sobbing on the phone with my husband, Dr England was holding Snuggles (the kitten) wiping tears from his eyes. Here is a big cowboy guy, in tears over my kitty. I will NEVER go to anyone but Dr England!!!! All animals deserve his attention, love & expertise!! Read Less

I have a dog and a cat, my mom has 2 cats, and my sister has 3 dogs, and we all take our pets to Dr. England. I live in Plano now and I still drive to Cedar Hill whenever my animals need to go to the vet. There is a wait but it is worth it , I don't think that anyone would ever care for my animals like they do there. Read Less
